Nothing is wrong with acknowledging positive figures, but being black is a neutral quality. Lets focus more on the excellence of the individual and less on their race, gender, disability, etc.
I just feel attaching things like first black, woman, whatever, detract from acknowledging the merits of the achievement and subconsciously aid in promoting segregation.
